You might check your security/firewall/port forwarding settings in your router If you've tried everything else, It seems like the devices might be blocked by the router or perhaps even the firewall on the PC.

I have found that mine does that if I let the Apple TV go to sleep. When I get done watching something. I was letting the Apple tv turn itself off. Doing that I could not mirror or playing anything from my iTunes server. However if I turn off the Apple tv going into settings. it works fine.

I do believe that it's a bug though. Started for me after the last software update.

Did you mean to quote the OP instead of me? But either way, you didn't miss it. They haven't logged in or posted in this thread since they started it in December, so why bump this thread to ask that question now?

Whoops, I didn't realize they hadn't logged in, and that was aimed at the OP (my bad :X). I was curious to know if that was the source of the problem. I don't have an ATV, but I've been reading up about them on the forums and I'm thinking of purchasing one. I'm trying to get a feel for all the issues people have with them though before I invest. I'm thinking I should probably wait until they get some of these kinks worked out.

Don't base your decision on this thread. The Apple TV doesn't have any kinks that need to be worked out. I've been using one for years and had no problems with it. Plus, you can try it out and return it if you don't like it. You might want to start your own thread and post your concerns there.

It's a great device because of the numerous little things it does well. From an iPhone users perspective, it's super nice to be able to easily AirPlay something to the big TV. Photostream support is also a big deal. You can also access your music from your Mac (or iTunes Match). All this stuff plus it's a pretty good streaming device for Netflix.

If you'd use those features, it's easily worth the price of admission. I don't rent movies (due to the cost), but use all the other stuff semi-regularly. We are a big Roku house, so that gets the bulk of our Netflix usage.
